Today’s announcement was meant to alert investors of the currently outstanding shares they should use to calculate their total holdings in the company according to FCA guidelines.
The company has achieved multiple milestones this year with the latest being an update on its ongoing research project with Nanomerics Limited where it is testing “the stability of different formulations of Nuvec loaded with a well-characterised plasmid DNA.”
The phase I trial indicated that Nuvec formulations that were freeze-dried and stored for 14 days at room temperature or four degrees, “showed no significant drop in in-vitro transfection capability following reconstitution compared to fresh formulations.”
I will be watching this stock in the new year.
